The president’s words don’t change the facts: Furloughed #FederalWorkers are entitled to back pay under the law.
Since getting paid back can take time, we also urge furloughed #workers to apply for #unemployment benefits (known as UCFE) ASAP.

Part of the pay gap is a motherhood gap-- and women of color are always hit harder. #EqualPayNow
Today is #LatinaEqualPay Day
Latinas are paid just 54 cents, on average, for every $1 non-Hispanic, white men are paid.
This is not just a number, but a lifetime of stolen wages. The pay gap harms Latinas, their families, and our entire country.
Latinas deserve fair pay now!
